l CHILD S GARMENT.

Application file-d may 12, 1921. Serial No. 488,875.

To aZ? whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, LOUIS KUH, a citizen of the United States, and resident of the city and county of San Francisco, State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Childrens Garments of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a childs one piece garment of the romper type with trousers having outwardly flaring side extensions or pegs, said extensions having openings to form the entrance to the pockets. The garment is adapted to be conveniently applied and removed, affording a maximum amount of ease and comfort to the wearer,

and allowing a freedom of movement without binding at any points. The material is usually washable, and the garment may be laid fiat on the board for ironing.

By referring to the accompanying drawings my invention will be made clear.

Fig. 1 is a front view 01 the garment.

Fig. 2 is a back view showing the upper trousers portion buttoned and the lower portion unbuttoned with the belt open.

My garment consists of an upper or body portion 1 which is stitched or otherwise connected at 2 to a trousers portion 3, extending above and below the waist line. The body portion 1 is provided with sleeves 4c and 5 and the trousers portion with legs 6 and 7. At the back of the garment the trousers portion 3 is divided by a horizontal opening at the waist line 8 into an upper trousers portion 3 and a lower trousers portion 3; said opening also extending downwardly over the hips, thus enabling the lower trousers portion 3 to drop forming a flap 9 as shown in Figure 2. sufficient space for the body in applying or removing the garment.

At the back of the garment the body portion 1 and the trousers portion 3 is divided vertically between the neck opening 10 and the waist line 8 by the opening 11. Both said divisional lines 8 and 11 are adapted to be closed by buttoning the parts over each other.

A belt 12 is permanently attached to the upper end of the flap 9 of the lower trousers portion 3 extending on each side as at 13,

This opening provides and 14. The ends 18 and 14; are of sufficient length to extend around the front of the garment and button together at 15, as shown in Figure 1. In this manner the belt is permanently attached to the back of the garment and loosely arranged at the front The trousers portion of the garment is formed with side extensions or pegs, flaring outwardly as at 16 and 17, and consisting of a top sloping downward from the waist line 8. Pockets 18 and 19, shown by dotted lines in Figure 1 are inserted and stitched in place within the trousers portion 3, said pockets having their entrances along the line of the pegs, 16 and 17. It will thus be seen that the pocket openings are conveniently positioned and the pockets readily accessible so that the open top of the extension or peg serves the double purpose of enhancing the external appearance of the garment and affording an easy and comfortable entrance to the pockets.

In order to put the garment on, the belt 12 is first opened at 15 and then unbuttoned at the waist line 8, at the back of the gar ment from the upper trousers portion 3 This enables the lower trousers portion 3* to open downwardly from the waist line 8 forming the flap 9 as shown in Fig. 2. The upper trousers portion 3 is then unbuttoned at the back along the divisional line 11, and this together with the waist opening provides sufiicient space to apply or remove the garment. After the garment is put on, the various portions are then buttoned together as will be readily apparent and the belt adjusted and buttoned at the front of the garment.

Having described my invention, I claim: A one-piece garment comprising a body portion and trousers portion, said trousers portion cut to form outwardly flaring side extensions below the waist line, said outwardly flaring side extensions having their tops open to form entrances to pockets and said trousers port-ion also having a transverse opening at the back with a belt permanently attached to the trousers portion, said belt having loose extensions adapted to close around the front of the garment.
